Ellen Page Doesn't Appreciate the Use of Her Likeness in The Last of Us

UPDATE: Everyone, chill. Naughty Dog and Ellen Page have made nice. Well, actually, they've more said "this was never a big deal" on Twitter.

Original story follows...

Remember how The Last of Us' Ellie once bore a more-than-striking resemblence to Canadian actress Ellen Page? And remember how Naughty Dog subsequently redesigned her to better resemble her voice actress, Ashley Johnson? But arguably, Ellie still carries certain... Ellen-Page-ish qualites?

In a recent Reddit Ask Me Anything, Page admitted she did not "appreciate" her likeness being "ripped off" by Naughty Dog, principally due to her legitimate involvement with Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls, another Sony exclusive.

"This has almost certainly been made clear to you several times, but are you aware how much you look like Ellie from “The Last of Us,” a video game which came out about a week ago. She even sounds like you. So much so that almost everyone assumed it was you playing the role.

Which leads me to my questions:

How did you like playing the role of a video game character when doing “Beyond: Two Souls?” Do you prefer live action?
Have you seen any footage of “The Last of Us” and would you have taken the role as Ellie if approached?"

To which Page replied:

"I guess I should be flattered that they ripped off my likeness, but I am actually acting in a video game called Beyond Two Souls, so it was not appreciated."

What do you think? Both share a certain endearing spiritedness (and brown hair and short stature) but does Ellie still remind you so blatantly of Page? Let us know in the comment section.
